Wattbike VO2 max Builder

4 x 4 mins + 1 x 3 mins / 4 mins RBI. Wattbike decided it didn't want to carry on in ERG mode at start of third interval, brief faff whilst working out what was going on. Wasn't sure I'd be able to complete session today. Tired from not being able to sleep until after 03.00 last night (no reason) Have been doing VO2 max intervals at over 170 Watts and 4 x 3 mins. Decided to change things up and did this session on WB Hub. Intervals aimed at 161 Watts but for 4 mins and extra 3 min interval for 5 mins. Tough but surprising that dropping 10/15 Watts made session much more doable. Also added 10 mins to Warm up as WB warm up too short as usual. Still in correct HR range though.
Worked hard at keeping breathing under control which may have helped with not feeling as distressed as previous recent VO2 efforts.
Also tried to keep to cadences set in WB App 95 rpm with last interval aiming for 100 rpm. Guess this is to keep HR as high as possible?
